Free Webinar: Evaluating Process-Relevant Powder Properties for Additive Manufacturing Applications
Powder flow specialists, Freeman Technology, will be continuing their webinar series with ‘Evaluating Process-Relevant Powder Properties for Additive Manufacturing Applications’ on November 26 at 15.00 (GMT).
Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing) is a potentially transformative, highly efficient manufacturing technique. It involves ‘printing’ often intricate components to a tight specification by gradually building up powder layers which are then selectively fused together.
Join Jamie Clayton, Operations Director at Freeman Technology, for this free webinar where he will evaluate why controlling the performance of the powders is critical for process efficiency and end product quality.
The webinar will highlight various studies which have shown how the diverse and sensitive methodologies, provided by the FT4 Powder Rheometer, enable the detection of minor variations in feedstocks that directly influence performance in AM processes, in a way that traditional characterisation techniques cannot. Powder rheology can therefore support successful optimisation and lifecycle management of powders for AM.
Topics will include:
- The influence of powder production methods
- The evaluation of virgin and used feedstocks
- The influence of additives on polymer AM performance
- Quantifying batch-to-batch variation in feedstocks

About us
Freeman Technology specialises in systems for measuring the flow properties of powders and has nearly 20 years' experience in powder flow and powder characterisation.
The company invests significantly in R&D and applications development, and provides detailed know-how to support its range of products. Expert teams guide and support users around the world in addressing their individual powder challenges, focusing on delivering the most relevant information for the process. The result is world-leading solutions for understanding powder behaviour - in development, formulation, scale-up, processing, quality control, or anywhere that powders have a role.
Freeman Technology’s solutions include the FT4 Powder Rheometer®, a uniquely universal powder tester, and the Uniaxial Powder Tester, a complementary tool for quick and robust powder assessment. Systems are installed around the world in the chemical, pharmaceutical, toners, foods, powder coatings, metals, ceramics, cosmetics, and many other industries. They deliver data that maximise process and product understanding, accelerating R&D and formulation towards successful commercialisation, and supporting the long term optimisation of powder processes.
Founded in 1989 as a developer of automated testing systems for materials characterisation, the company has focused exclusively on powders since the late 1990s and in 2018 became part of Micromeritics Instrument Corporation. The company’s R&D, manufacturing and commercial headquarters are in Gloucestershire, UK, with operations and distribution partners in key global territories. In 2007 the company received the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in Innovation and in 2012 the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade.
